We welcome in special guest, musician, brewer, business owner, entrepreneur, and rapper Kemet Coleman. Recently Kemet penned “A Musician’s Plea: Three Actions Kansas City Must Take Now” - did you read it? (link in comments below)

Kemet has been part of the KC music community for more than two decades and recently opened the first Black-owned brewery in Missouri, Vine Street Brewing Co. He’s gained a lot of knowledge over the years and met a lot of influential people, and now he’s putting it out there, his ideas on what should be done to push Kansas City music to the next level.

On the show, we’ll discuss his plea, ideas, and action items to help turn these bullet points into a checklist.

While Kemet sits down with us, we’ll play music from his catalog including a brand new song called “Born in the Middle” as well as songs from FlareThaRebel, Kadesh Flow, Vincent Orsolini, The Phantastics, Dominique Sanders, and Eddie Moore.

We’ll also hear one from Amber Flutienastiness & The Soul Patrol, they’ll be playing at Vine Street Brewery on Friday, January 31 as part of their ongoing jazz series.
